We made a leisurely crossing from Porto Santo to Quinta do Lorde Marina under blue skies, again. Loving this weather!
The 29nm was part sailing and part motor sailing.
Once we arrived Simon headed off to catch the bus to Funchal to continue on from there to his holiday accommodation, Ernst will likely leave tomorrow.
First impressions of the Marina are very good with a high level of customer service. The relatively new marina development goes together with a hotel and other holiday accommodation, in a quiet location at the Eastern end of the island.
Just back from happy hour at the marina bar!

Approaching Madeira from the East.
At Quinta do Lorde Marina, Clansman just left of centre.
And another 80 mile offshore swim pic from two days ago. Ernst diving off the bow.
 
I probably won’t post now until the boat moves somewhere else, which may be a while.  Thanks for viewing Smile
